迈克尔·波伦的《植物的欲望》是美国当代生态散文的代表作。作品从自然史与文化史的视角详细叙述了苹果、郁金香、大麻、马铃薯四种植物与人类共同进化的历史,表现了作家对人类与植物生态间性关系的哲学思考。《植物的欲望》是环境危机中的文学想象,也是现代农业技术与田园理想在作家心灵中的诗意折射,以其独特的文化视角、丰富的生态意蕴、跨学科的知识谱系以及多样化的散文话语成为当代生态散文的经典之一。
Michael Polon’s The Desire of Plants is a masterpiece of contemporary American ecological prose. From the perspectives of natural history and cultural history, the work gives a detailed account of the history of the co-evolution of four plants, apple, tulip, hemp and potato, with humans. It shows the writer’s philosophical thinking on the ecological relationship between man and plant. “The Desire of Plant” is a literary imagination in the environmental crisis. It is also a poetic refraction of modern agricultural technology and pastoral ideals in the writer’s mind. With its unique cultural perspective, rich ecological implications, interdisciplinary pedigree and diversified prose Discourse becomes one of the classic of contemporary ecological prose.
